Last Day

Today is my last day of work.  Very crazy, it doesn’t seem any different than any other day yet.  I suppose it will start to sink in when I don’t wake up to go to work on Monday or Tuesday (etc), but it really does just seem like a normal Friday. 

But I am SICK.  AGAIN.  Apparently Jason did not get my sickness, he got some other sickness that he then passed on to me while I was taking care of him.  I suppose that is the difference.  If this was just another Friday and not my LAST FRIDAY, there is no way I would have come into work today because I feel like poo.  I will definitely be embarking on a lovely weekend-full of nada, just rest and emergen-C and TV.

I also had my last ultrasound appointment yesterday (nothing was wrong, just checking up on how big he is).  I really thought that I would get to see really good pictures of him since he’s so developed now, but I was wrong.  He’s actually so big now that they can’t get a good shot of him at all because they can’t get enough of him in the picture.  There may have been a good shot of his face possible, but he’s facing backwards (which is actually good for the birth, but come on baby, where are the picture posing skills?).  I guess I’ll take a bad pose for a better position for labor…

Still pending on that though (the labor, that is).  No contractions or even fake contractions (Braxton Hicks) yet…

Final Countdown...

So today starts the official countdown of my last week of work before baby time—super crazy, only 5 days left.  I don’t quite know what I’m going to do with myself at home, because since the last post we have awesome new appliances, a functioning kitchen that I used this weekend to make cheesecake bars and lemon bars for a super bowl party, I’ve installed the car seat base in my car, and the house is actually pretty clean right now…that doesn’t mean that I’m actually READY ready, but superficially ready anyway.

Not that that remotely affected my ability to sleep from 3:45-5:30 this morning.  So I’m super alert and chipper right now.  Luckily, this week is half days only, so I only need to make it till around noon (actually a little before since I start work at 7), so I can go home and take care of sick Jason at home.  He is currently completely wiped out on the couch, having taken his second round (since last night) of NyQuil, and I left him this morning set up with peanut butter & jelly toast, water, emergen-C, all the remotes, a movie playing, my iPad (since I downloaded fake Risk for him to play), and his laptop.  So I feel like he should be set for a few hours.  To be honest I don’t know how he isn’t going to be dead to the world until I get back home since he took NyQuil, I mean, I realize that he is much bigger than me, but whenever I’ve taken NyQuil, it knocks me out cold for hours and hours.
